About Wykeham Church of England Primary School
Wykeham Church of England Primary School is a small village primary in North Yorkshire, and its headline metrics present a mixed picture compared with the local authority average. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Requires Improvement overall, a downgrade from its previous Good rating in 2016. This places it well below the 16 outstanding schools among the 292 primaries in the LA. However, the school’s personal development and behaviour and attitudes were both judged Good, suggesting strengths in pastoral care. The LA average for Key Stage 2 attainment is 60, but Wykeham’s own KS2 results are not available in the data, so it is impossible to say whether pupils are meeting that benchmark. What is clear is that the school is heavily oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 14 applications for just one place, with a first-preference ratio of 14:1, indicating strong local demand despite the inspection rating.
